Event details
Join us for two special events where our Planner product team shares what is coming to the new Microsoft Planner.
In our Meet the Makers virtual event on April 3rd, leaders from the Planner product team will talk about the latest on the future of task and work management for Microsoft 365. They will explain how the new Microsoft Planner brings together the simplicity of Microsoft To Do, the collaboration of Microsoft Planner, the power of Microsoft Project for the web - with the intelligence of Microsoft Copilot - into a simple, familiar experience.
Our experts will showcase some of the key new capabilities and improvements of the new experience, including demonstrations on how to leverage Copilot in Planner to create plans, tasks, and goals and get Copilot to answer questions on progress, priorities, workload and more.
On April 4, we will host a special Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA). During the AMA session members of the Planner product team will answer questions directly from the community. This is a great opportunity to get answers to any questions you may have from the recent Meet the Makers event.

I'm wondering if the new Teams Planner Premium will be also available for the production environments? (Now it is available for the default environment).
- MikkoSorsaBrass Contributor
I would kindly ask, what is the current status of the Task Enterprise Custom Fields feature?
I'm wondering if the feature is currently on Microsoft's development roadmap.
It would be extremely useful in both default and production environments
(The task level enterprise custom fields have been very useful in the Project Online environment. It helps with the unified experience and task level power bi reporting etc) - Matt KeaysCopper ContributorAny plans for a client app for both platforms that would allow project/program leads who travel frequently to work offline ? Excel is great for this use case but we are trying to shift the pmo leaders across to enteprise collab apps
- Tanya_KeyserBrass ContributorWill there be the ability to lock a Plan or modify Permissions to View Only or Contribute only? What about a recycle bin or version control for task items?
- AndyBaIron Contributor
Must have features. Especially for Front Line Workers. Everyone can edit and delete tasks or the whole Plan without possibility to restore. Really?
- bdaniels-precastBrass ContributorAre there plans to implement read-only, edit, owner level permissions to plans / projects? Would improve the business use-case drastically.

This is something we're looking into - do you have any examples of how you would use this sort of feature in your plans and projects? Thanks for your feedback Blake! - AndyBaIron Contributor100%
- myanceyBrass ContributorWill it make Ticket or Task Numbers like Jira does? I have to keep track and write my own numbering system in the task title now for easy reference instead of the long word form name.
- YanLamMTLCopper ContributorHello. Is it possible to have a global view of tasks by resource? Example, I have 8 active projects. In the morning, I want to be able to see which tasks resource A and resource B are working on and in which of my projects. I'm looking for a cross-sectional view of all tasks by resource or priority.
- CourtBodaIron ContributorYes, please make this happen, without having to create a Power BI dashboard. Should be native within the system.

I am not able to make the event due to the time difference, however please can you confirm if the MS Projects features will be included in the Early 2024 iteration, or will this only appear in the web experience which is due later on this year?
- KateG1400Brass ContributorI see there is about 5 out of the box templates, however none of them truly fit our business process that we are hoping to use Planner to track and monitor. Is there a way to create custom templates?
- CadmoCostaOccasional ReaderO novo planner possibilitará salvar uma linha de base, semelhante ao project desktop? Seria importante ter uma opção para gravar datas, de forma a comparar o prazo planejado com o prazo real.
